Don't charge me if I run out of burst capacity
Hi, I am the owner of a $20 per month Linux instance and I also have a tight budget
If this instance uses up all the burst capacity - so be it : don't tack on more compute power and charge me extra
If there any way for me to enforce the above preference?
I use LightSail so I know it will set the upper limit at baseline but: Is $20 per month an upper limit or an estimate? I'm at the beginning of the month so I want to know if $20 will be the exact charge in 30 days or ~$20. What's the range of minimum usage to peak load, is it $15 - $25? Is it possible for peak load requests to run me a, lets say, $80 tab for my instance?

Launch the instance in standard mode to avoid these charges https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/burstable-performance-instances-standard-mode.html
This document has a good explanation (and a very useful collection of links) of the way burstable instances can accrue charges https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-calculate-burst-credit-billing
Maybe check out this Lightsail doc regarding how the Lightsail instance burst capacity works: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-viewing-instance-burst-capacity
Good stuff! Unfortunately, I'm using LightSail
